<p>In planning any kind of school experiment or change, communication is essential. CBE is no exception. To help think through this aspect of school change, you’ll be putting yourself in the role of someone beginning to implement CBE and thinking about how you would incorporate stakeholder feedback and communication into your plan. <strong>Plan around ten minutes for this activity.</strong> <strong>Note</strong>: This activity can be hypothetical; you don’t actually have to plan a specific experiment around CBE to do it.</p>
<p>1. Choose a context: Imagine a scenario where you’re an administrator in a school that is beginning to implement CBE (If you are considering a CBE experiment or shift at your school, feel free to use that as your context). </p>
<p>Alternatively, you could choose an administrator at one of the featured schools and consider what it was like at the beginning of their implementation process. As a reminder, the administrators at the featured schools:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mike McRaith, former Principal at Montpelier High School</li>
<li>Chandra Sledge Mathias, former Principal at Crosstown High</li>
<li>Alison Kearney, Assistant Principal at Noble High School</li>
</ul>
<p>2. Consider potential stakeholders in the scenario you chose (teachers, students, families, even business leaders or politicians) and pick one or two to focus on for this activity. </p>
<p>3. Brainstorm various ways you might incorporate stakeholder voice into your plan. For example, if you choose students as your stakeholders, how will you make sure their voices and concerns are heard during the planning stages of a CBE transition? <span style="font-size: 1em;">Jot down notes or use </span><strong><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jtVPuXE69HQ9mqz9T5VnvcuBNYR0vF_Mw9Sp9Bqr05E/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" style="font-size: 1em;">this template</a></strong><span style="font-size: 1em;"> which you can access in Google Docs and <strong><a href="/assets/courseware/v1/5e378b70fc037a8f410ad7f9d04f0b4f/asset-v1:MITx+0.502x+1T2019+type@asset+block/Incorporating_Stakeholder_Voices_Activity_Template_for_CBE_MOOC.pdf" target="_blank">pdf</a></strong> </span><span style="font-size: 1em;">format. To get a version of the Google Slides templates you can edit, click "File" and then select "Make a copy." You can also download it by clicking "File" and selecting "Download as." </span></p>
<p>4. Next, i<span style="font-size: 1em;">magine concerns you think the stakeholder may have about CBE (don’t forget emotional concerns like stress, lack of time, grades, etc.). Consider: w</span>hat’s one way you could communicate to your stakeholder to reassure them that their concerns have been heard and responded to? It’s fine if these ideas are broad; you’re not drafting the communication itself.<span style="font-size: 1em;"> </span></p>
<p>5. Finally, reflect on how it felt taking on the role of an administrator and considering stakeholder voice and concerns.</p>
<p>We invite you to <strong>share your responses with a trusted colleague.</strong></p>
